NANFANG BROTHERS 18-Piece Damascus Kitchen Knife Set — Grey Block, VG10 Damascus Blades & Ergonomic Triple-Rivet Handles

Complete 18-piece kitchen knife set with 67-layer Damascus blades, ergonomic triple-rivet handles, a 17-slot Fraxinus Manchuria wooden block and full accessories for pro-level prep.

This NANFANG BROTHERS collection brings together all the knives and tools most home cooks need: chef, slicing, bread, santoku, utility, paring, eight serrated steak knives, meat fork, kitchen shears and a sharpener, stored in a grey natural Fraxinus Manchuria block with 17 slots. Blades feature a VG10 steel core and 67-layer Damascus construction for balanced strength and a fine cutting edge, while ergonomically curved ABS handles with triple rivets give secure control and comfort during repetitive tasks.

How sharp and long-lasting are these Damascus blades?

The knife blades use a VG10 steel core clad in 67 layers of damascus-style steel with a hardness rating around HRC 60–62, giving a keen edge that resists dulling during everyday use. The steak knives are factory serrated and hand-sharpened to roughly a 15° angle for dependable slicing through meats.

• VG10 core + 67-layer exterior for edge stability and corrosion resistance
• HRC 60–62 hardness for good edge retention without brittleness
• Hand-sharpened steak knives at ~15° for immediate out-of-box performance
• Included sharpener to maintain edge between professional sharpenings

What tools are included and how does the block organize them?

This set contains 18 pieces: chef, slicing, bread, santoku, utility, paring, eight steak knives, meat fork, kitchen shears and a manual sharpener, all housed in a natural Fraxinus Manchuria wooden block with 17 slots. The block design makes it easy to store and access each tool while keeping blades protected and off countertops.

• 17-slot Fraxinus Manchuria block with straightforward slot layout
• Full complement of knives plus shears, fork and sharpener included
• Knife slots engineered for easy insertion/removal and sanitary storage
• Grey finish that suits modern and traditional kitchen decor

Are the handles comfortable and safe for frequent use?

Handles are molded from non-slip ABS and secured with triple rivets for durability and balance; the curved profile supports the hand for controlled cuts and reduced fatigue. The integrated shank-to-blade design improves overall strength and minimizes stress points where breakage could occur.

• Ergonomic triple-rivet ABS handles for grip and longevity
• Curved form supports wrist alignment during chopping and slicing
• Integrated blade-to-shank construction lowers risk of separation
• Non-slip surface for wet or greasy kitchen conditions

How easy is care, cleaning and upkeep for this set?

Blades and handles are designed to be relatively low-maintenance: wipe-clean after use and hand-wash to preserve the Damascus finish and wooden block. Use the included sharpener periodically to restore a working edge; professional honing or sharpening once or twice a year keeps high-performance blades at their best.

• Hand-wash recommended to protect steel finish and wood block
• Use included sharpener for routine edge maintenance
• Store knives in the block to prevent accidental dulling and damage
• Avoid prolonged soaking or dishwasher exposure to maintain materials

Who is this set for: cooks who want a comprehensive, ready-to-use knife collection with premium Damascus-style blades and ergonomic handles—ideal for families, enthusiastic home chefs, or as a gift for someone setting up a new kitchen. It balances visual appeal, all-in-one utility and durable materials to support daily meal prep without needing immediate additional purchases.
